ISSN: 2352-9385
Impact factor: 4.7

The journal Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment (RSASE) is part of the Remote Sensing of Environment family of journals. It focuses on remote sensing studies that address specific topics with an emphasis on environmental and societal issues - regional / local studies with global significance. Subjects are encouraged to have an interdisciplinary approach and include, but are not limited by: Global and climate change studies addressing the impact of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, CO2 emission, carbon balance and carbon mitigation, energy system on social and environmental systems Ecological and environmental issues including biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, land degradation, atmospheric and water pollution, urban footprint, ecosystem management and natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, typhoons, floods, landslides) Natural resource studies including land-use in general, biomass estimation, forests, agricultural land, plantation, soils, coral reefs, wetland and water resources Agriculture, food production systems and food security outcomes Socio-economic issues including urban systems, urban growth, public health, epidemics, land-use transition and land use conflicts Oceanography and coastal zone studies, including sea level rise projections, coastlines changes and the ocean-land interface Regional challenges for remote sensing application techniques, monitoring and analysis, such as cloud screening and atmospheric correction for tropical regions Interdisciplinary studies combining remote sensing, household survey data, field measurements and models to address environmental, societal and sustainability issues Quantitative and qualitative analysis that documents the impact of using remote sensing studies in social, political, environmental or economic systems In addition to original research papers, comprehensive review articles are welcome. Tutorial papers and brief papers containing significant new data or techniques,or commenting on previously published papers (letters to the Editor), may be published as Short Communications.

Remote Sensing of Environment

ISSN: 0034-4257
5 Year impact factor: 14.2
Impact factor: 13.5

Remote Sensing of Environment (RSE) serves the Earth observation community with the publication of results on the theory, science, applications, and technology of studies contributing to advance the science of remote sensing. Thoroughly interdisciplinary, RSE publishes on terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric sensing. The emphasis of the journal is on biophysical and quantitative approaches to remote sensing at local to global scales and covers a wide range of applications and techniques: Applications Land cover mapping, vegetation species identification and mapping Land surface energy and water balance Disturbance (fire, insect, harvest) Agriculture (crop mapping, yield prediction, phenology, soil properties, management practices) Forest and rangeland productivity and inventories Ecological applications & Ecosystem services (wetland, biodiversity, habitat, animal population, etc.) Urban applications (mapping, energy consumption, population, etc.) Terrestrial ecosystem productivity and carbon cycles Soil properties (moisture, organic matter, texture, structure, etc.) Geological Applications (minerals, landslide, subsidence, geomorphology, earth quake, etc.) Hydrology and water resources Inland and coastal waters Oceanography and marine science Cryosphere, mapping and modelling Atmospheric science and meteorology Snow, ice and glaciers Techniques & Methods Feature extraction from RS images: segmentation and classification, surface structural, biochemical or physiological traits estimation from RS data Radiative transfer modelling Machine and deep learning for RS data analysis RS Data assimilation Satellite time series analysis & change detection Satellite data fusion (spectral, spatial and temporal) Satellite sensor systems characterization including radiometric and geometric calibration New remote sensing missions and systems Original Research Articles should describe important significant new results or methods that will advance the science or application of remote sensing. The main contribution should be the remote sensing component, rather than investigation of an environmental problem in which remote sensing does not play a major role. Papers dealing with single study sites are welcome, although the sites should be representative of broad conditions suitable for drawing conclusions of interest to the international audience of this journal. Studies based on close-range sensing (hand-held, IoT, UAV) are welcome if they show sufficient advances in RS methodology which can be generalized for large-area applications. Review Articles should provide a thorough review of the current state-of-the-art of an important subject in remote sensing, by providing insights and perspectives on the trends, with a synthesis of previous work beyond literature compilation or bibliometric studies. Short Communications are intended to publish significant new techniques, data, or results in a timely manner where expansion to a full-length paper may cause delay of their availability to the research or user community (5000 words).

Impact factor: 1

Research in Cold and Arid Regions is a peer-reviewed, international and interdisciplinary research journal, which focuses on the latest research on processes and patterns of the Earth's surface system in cold and arid regions. Research in cold regions — topics covered There is a particular emphasis on cold-region-characterised physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions. In addition, we welcome submissions that consider the response of the cryosphere to global change and human activities, and the impact of these two elements on environmental and acclimatisable strategies. Glaciers, snow, rivers, lakes, sea ice, permafrost, seasonal frozen ground and periglacial geomorphology, etc. Cold region engineering and technology. Research in arid regions — topics covered The goal is to provide reliable technological support for water, ecology and food security in arid regions. There is a particular emphasis on arid-region-characterised physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions. In addition, we welcome submissions that consider the response of arid regions to global change and human activities, and the impact of these two elements on environmental and acclimatisable strategies. Deserts, oases, loess and aeolian landforms, etc. Comprehensive studies on mountain-desert-oasis systems in arid watersheds that are dominated by water resources.
